When Captain A.N. Petersen came ashore in 1920 and founded the company bearing his name, he was regarded as a forerunner. His skill and diligence formed the background upon which the company was built and prospered. He was also able to create a unique company spirit, of which we are proud. Captain A.N. Petersen's influence and contribution to the company's success has continued since his death in 1941. We are proud that a number of the people working with A.N. Petersen have been serving the company for many years. We are equally proud to have young enthusiastic people joining and staying with us, thereby ensuring the future of the company. In the early years A.N. Petersen enjoyed a close association with A/S Det Dansk-Franske Dampskibsselskab, as well as being managing owners for several Danish shipping companies. Our competitive chartering also formed an important part of the company's activities in the early days. However, like other professions, shipping often and rapidly changes patterns and in 1979 the brokers of the company took over the ownership. A.N. Petersen then became a wholly independent competitive shipbrokering company enjoying the experience of the past, progressive ideas of the present, and belief in the future.

The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) is one of the world's leading ship classification societies. It is a not-for-profit, independent technical organization, which provides a unique service without counterpart in any other field of industry or commerce. Briefly stated, ABS establishes and administers standards, known as Rules, for the design, construction, and periodic survey of hsips and other marine structure. Classification is process which certifies adherence to these Rules, thus representing that a ship or other type of marien structure possesses the structural and mechanical integrity required for its intended service. A classed vessel is, therefore, one that provides for both the safety of personnel and cargoes carried, as well as helps to protect the enviornment in which it may operate. Because of the way it is organized and operated, ABS maintains an impartial and uncompromised postion in performing classification services around the world. In this way, ABS effectively acts as a self-regulatory agency to the international marine community, both private and public, in promoting the safety of life, property, and protecting the environment. In support of its classification and related services, ABS offers a broad range of technical services to assist owners, operators, shipyards and others in designing, building, operating and maintaining their vessels safety and effectively.

In 1972 we broke ranks with Dahl-Beck Electric (our current parent company) and became incorporated under our current name. In the early days we supplied Dahl-Beck and other marine contractors in the bay area with the marine electrical apparatus essential for the electrical repair and retrofitting on board shipping vessels at the Port of San Francisco. We continued to operate as a specialty marine electrical distributor at 2nd and Howard Street (San Francisco) until 1981 when Bill Beck and George Vaio spearheaded our move to an 18,000 square ft. facility in Emeryville California to better serve the Port of Oakland container vessels and the terminal facilities located there. Today we find ourselves once again under the same roof as our parent company Dahl-Beck Electric where we operate within an even larger 46,000 square ft. and more efficient facility in Richmond California. Over the years we have taken on many industrial lines and have become one of the largest independent electrical distributors in the San Francisco Bay Area. Just last year we acquired Potter Electric of San Francisco which gave us a strong position in both the entertainment and government electrical markets. We are a third generation family owned and operated company with active principals in all three Beck Industry companies. The Beck family prides itself on being reasonable people who care about the history and future of this business, and the extremely dedicated employees who make us shine on a daily basis. Please don't hesitate to call and ask for Bill, Roger, Ray or Ron Beck if you ever have a complaint, concern or special request. We hope you take a few moments and look at our website to further inform yourself on the wide array of specialty items and manufacturers we represent.
